Klotz, who are they trying to kid?
I just picked up some Klotz oil (techniplate and Benol) today and was amazed to see the recommendations on the back of the bottles.
Would *you* use 10% Klotz oil in *your* 4-stroke glow engine?
The figures suggested (which I forget at the moment but which struck me as being *very* low) are much less than I'd dare to use (I stick to 20% by volume -- usually 15% synth and 5% castor).
I wonder if Klotz would offer to pay should you wreck your engine by using their recommended very low oil ratios in model engines?
Or are we all being overly conservative with our oil ratios (yes, we've all heard that Motul can be used in very low percentages (12% or so) without problems - but I'm not sure that Klotz and Coolpower are good enough for such low ratios.
And what's the "good oil" on synth oil?
I've been using Klotz and Coolpower (whichever happens to be available) and had no problems with either (the castor component is my insurance) -- but is one of these two really any better than the other?
